Introduction	Hi! I'm Astrid Bartleby. It's a favourite pseudonym of mine so that's the one I'll be using. I am left-handed and like many things people find odd... like tea. I love tea. I could talk for DAYS about tea. Months even. Possibly years. But I'm not going to bore you with that. I also love dark chocolate. And reading. And Latin. And writing. Let's not forget drawing, and just art making in general. And a whole bunch of other stuff too. And... yea.
